“Mm.” Cordelia nodded. “I heard it from mom. Think there are a lot of people invited.”
“Yeah, other than everyone in the family, there are also those who are closer to us from the three major families.
Fredric and Seth will be attending too. They’re both very important guests.”
Zephyr lowered his head to rub their noses together. “Of course, the main purpose of this dinner is to celebrate Mr.
and Mrs. Irwin!”
Hamerton Manor was merrily filled with guests come weekend.
Liam was a traditionalist, but he had hosted a sophisticated event this time, an exception, to cater to the younger
generation.
Fredric was a huge contributor to the matter and was the Hamertons’ VIP. In addition to being a famous lawyer in
Centrolis and an eligible bachelor, he became the center of attention.
Zephyr’s female cousins, who made a long trip here, surrounded Fredric, so the latter did not even have the chance

Seth kept Zennie company, but the little princess wore a constant pout. The doctor kept her company, but in
actuality, they were eating while she was tested on math—he could even make up a problem about how a cake
could be divided!
Josiah came with Kelly and was the focal point of attention at that instant. There were talks about a union between
the Bayers and the Tanners. The Bayer parents had always been open, and their attitude was increasingly clear. It
seemed that the rumor was true.
The union of both families would mean a joint of equal power, and the pair was a match made in heaven. It was a
joyous occasion, no matter how one looked at it.
What was most interesting was that Janine and Kate had attended the event together. Henry, sandwiched between
his ex and current wife, looked done with life as he stayed silent.
Janine and Kate, who took in how he looked, rolled their eyes at him in unison and smiled at each other despite
Henry being in the center, greeting each other warmly.
“Kate!”
“Janine! Oh, you’re gorgeous today!”
“Not more than you! You look more than ten years younger dressed like this!”
“Oh yeah, I recently stumbled upon some research about the secret to longevity…”
“What?”
“To stay beautiful and live long, one has to stay away from men!”
A loud and bright bark of laughter erupted from them as they chatted. “Hahaha!”
Henry was rendered speechless. There was so much pressure sandwiched between them that he snuck off to the
side with his plate to eat in peace.
Cordelia weaved through the guests with a hand on Zephyr’s arm.
As Mrs. Hamerton, she had to socialize—although she was tipsy two glasses later. Zephyr helped her to the side

“Cordelia, you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Cordelia smiled. “Don’t worry, grandpa. This amount of alcohol can’t beat me!”
“You should still drink less!” Liam’s gaze was loving. “I know that you’re happy today. I’ll have to give Mr. Irwin a
toast later too!”
When Rowan was mentioned, Zephyr furrowed his brows. He seemed to have overheard the older man and Xyla
talking about Southeast Aciatic…
He was a little worried and asked Cordelia, “Darling, did dad tell you anything about… what we do for the future?”
“The future?” Cordelia blinked and teased him purposely. “Oh, I think so!”
Zephyr grew nervous.
Cordelia chuckled. “Dad said that he’d take us back to Southeast Aciatic after he’s done with business here!”
“What?” Zephyr nearly yelled.
What was the old geezer thinking? Did he get his permission to take his wife back to Southeast Aciatic!?
